Arthur: .... Gwaine, what did you do...

and people say season 5 is bad

Alright, I've seen some debates on this, but I want to settle this question once and for all!

For reference:

If I could make any one change to Merlin, it would be to sprinkle in some knight centric episodes. I just want a couple of one offs where Merlin goes on a short quests with the different round tables knights. Still doing some magic behind the scenes and getting no credit for it( don't fix what ain't broken) but working to flesh out the knights more. I wanna see each knight as their own specialty of knighthood in the kingdom and how Arthur inspired each of them even while he's not there. I want to see what conflicts they deal with and maybe the council Merlin gives not just to Arthur, but his friends as well. I also want to see the wider world of Camelot and how it has changed and how it maybe changes the knights themselves.

Where does Gwain go from tavern brawler to noble paragon?

Where does Leon go from head guard to tactician and leader in his own right?

What struggles of the heart brings Percival to rely on the strength of others and to save his own to serve them?

No wonder this show inspires so much fan fiction

something about magic being a metaphor for queerness

I think it would be insanely funny if after Arthur’s death everyone returns back in time to the place they were the day Merlin arrived in Camelot. But like, everyone thinks they are the only ones who has returned. We see it all from Merlin’s pov, who’s traumatised and wondering why the fuck Arthur is so much sweeter to him this time around and keeps saying ‘thank you’. He wonders why Lancelot shows up earlier, why all of a sudden Gwaine is there three years too early, saying he got hurt in a tavern bawl and needs a physician. He wonders why Leon keeps pretending like he didn’t just accidentally see Merlin do magic. Why Gwen keeps giving him these knowing looks. And why Morgana doesn’t seem as afraid as she used to when she was figuring out that she had magic. Everyone is trying their best to change history for the better, thinking they are alone with this duty... and then one day when uther is dead and they are sitting around the round table, merlin steps forward and is like: ‘I need to confess that I have magic, but also that I have returned from the future.’ And everyone just whips around and is like ‘YOU TOO??!’ And then they realise that they’ve all returned and wasted their time thinking they were alone.

Arthur sends Merlin on some job and wants him to take a knightly escort to keep him out of trouble. Merlin: I'll take Gwaine with me Arthur: I said "keep you out of trouble" not "guarantee you'll get into it". Take Lancelot with you, he's the least likely to commit treason with you Merlin: You say that like he's never committed treason with me

Broke: They had to have Dolma as an old lady because a young woman would have been too recognizable for Arthur, who regularly clocks Merlin’s disguises through his eyes alone.

Woke: They had to have Dolma as an old lady because a young woman would have sent Morgana Pendragon barreling out of her bog to make an introduction to the pretty new sorceress in town.

Bespoke: Gwaine was not allowed to meet Dolma as an old lady because he would have flirted with her on sight and Merlin would have gone with it.

Magical orb that puts a crime count on everyone's head (while Arthur is king), counting the crimes based on the established laws. (Crime count in brackets)

Gwaine (127): this is an outrage

Arthur(3): I am as distraught as you

Gwaine (127): no, no. You don't get to say that! I've worked my whole life on this crime count and I've got less than THEM?

Merlin (847): *crosses arms* protecting Arthur comes with a cost. What I don't get.... Is THIS!!!!

Lancelot (1084): I can explain

Love the mental image of what Merlin's Gwain and the Green Knight could have been. Not just for the familiar story but more so because I can absolutely see BBC Merlin's swashbuckler, tavern brawler, Gwain seeing an enchanted green knight roll up and just go "yeah. I can take em". Followed then by Gwain stumbling through the rest of the tail followed by a Merlin desperately negotiating with the Sidhe to keep him alive.
